We're planning a seaweed festival- and you're invited! We’re calling upon out seaweed-keen community to grow this festival with us, either by running events/activities, partnering with us to make the festival happen, or.... something else!? We want to co-ordinate a broad programme of events and activities during March 2025, to give our seaweeds the attention they deserve!

You're invited to this whānau fun day exploring the Waipoua River on foot or by bicycle! Learn about the history of the awa, its biodiversity, hear local pūrākau, and learn about the conservation efforts going on to restore and protect the Waipoua. Afterwards, get hands on helping to plant trees alongside the awa, and join us for a BBQ!

As well as caring for our coasts and oceans, it’s all about community at the annual South Coast clean up! We'll be taking part in this morning of litter collection and family fun- join us!
